If you haven’t already you should find a copy of Bride and Bloom. It is an absolutely beautiful magazine that will fill you with ideas and revelations to make your wedding day extraordinary. One favourite feature is the “new colour pairings” where they parallel photos of a certain theme, such as candy pink {this month} with items of the same hues that would suit that palette for your wedding – so, so pretty! As the magazine title suggests, the essence of the glossy pages is found through floral design; they present stunning bouquets and centerpieces, table displays and more. My favourite feature of this particular mag is the boutonnière pages, the inspiration is unequalled ::

While I've been loving the magazine for quite some time now I've been waiting patiently for their website to launch - and, I'm happy to report that it has! Go have a look at http://www.thebrideandbloom.com/.

One of the questions I hear the most is about gifts for attendants. I usually suggest a brainstorming session to come up with something that is fitting for each of their tastes. But, when you just can't come up with something specific, you can always buy something classic or interesting!

After a very busy week I am taking off in a couple of hours on a girly excursion with my very best girlfriends to the town of Canmore at the base of the beautiful rocky mountains. Think pyjamas and mojitos, crisp morning walks, window shopping on Main Street, multiple trips to Starbucks, and a gourmet dinner at Quarry Bistro.

This is me.

my name is lisa. this is my blog.

i love pretty things. i love to share. i love to love.

i love to cook and bake. i love to eat what i, or anyone else, cooks or bakes. I love to try new restaurants, food trucks, fine dining establishments, whatever. i love to entertain, hang with friends, fit in quality time with family, and sneak away and carve out some guilty pleasure time for me.
